Subject: Confirm my Performance Test Against Java?

I'm evaluating Ruby for use in a variety of systems that are planned by
default to be Java.

I've started down a path of doing various performance tests to see what
kind of impact will occur by using Ruby and in my first test the numbers
are very poor - so poor that I have to question if I'm doing something
wrong.

I've tried it on both Linux and Mac OSX and get similar performance
numbers on each - differences being hardware, but the ratio between the
results about the same.

Please take a look at my blog post on my test results and view the
source code and let me know if I'm doing something completely wrong with
the Ruby code or execution - or if these are accurate numbers.

NOTE: This is not an attempt to start a flame war. This is a legitimate
effort to take a good look at Ruby and let the numbers speak for
themselves in making decisions for what types of applications I can
choose to use Ruby for without sacrificing the performance of a mature
platform such as Java.

Thank you.

Ben
